The Wall Street Journal is an excellent newspaper. It is also something of a grouch. An entertaining, well-informed, occasionally terrifying grouch--the kind of grouch who badgers children about the poor quality of kites these days--but a grouch nonetheless.

People who text 'I'm late'
European demilitarization
Employee background checks
Barack Obama's taste in music
